About SCHMIDT LIGHT METAL GROUP
Who we are
Strong all-around - SLM 360º
We develop and manufacture complex aluminium die-cast solutions for the automobile industry and its system suppliers.
As a Group, our strengths lie in the development of tools, products and processes as well as in our high level of flexibility and ability to take action quickly to implement solutions for our customers. We want to expand our business activities to increase flexibility, transformation time and cost-effectiveness in the provision of light metal components for our customers. Therefore, we are expanding our capacity for order-related assembling.
From company to group
The original and main activity of the owner-run Group is the manufacturing of aluminium die-cast products for the automotive and component supply industry.
Created in 1989, the aluminium die-casting foundry originally made unfinished parts for the European automotive industry. Today as a Group, we are a competent partner to our worldwide customers for the entire process, from product development to the delivery of complex, ready-to-install light metal components.
The right approach
Our aim is to obtain full customer satisfaction and to build a business relationship designed to develop into a long-term partnership. It therefore goes without saying that we deliver products of the desired quality, in the agreed amount and at the required date. Our references are proof of the level of confidence we have established over the past years with our customers.
The principle of error prevention always comes first in regards to quality measures and our quality objective is “zero defects”. Our numerous certifications are proof of our commitment.
